Esther Pfeiffer

I spoke to a couple of germs after who struggled.

So for example, I can never pronounce her name, but Esther Pfeiffer dropped out 15K.

Apparently she was throwing up and everything the whole night 'cause the pressure got to her.

Wow.

Yeah.

So, um, so from the start, I had Hendrik Pfeiffer and Esther Pfeiffer going for the German national record.

So th- they were pacing 2:19, and unfortunately, at around 14K, Esther pulled out, um, which meant the group started to, to break up there.

Um, so I was feeling super smooth.

... because I could just clock out.

I was actually there to do a job.

Um, I was helping Esther Pfeiffer, um, in the German national record, um, as her kind of like watching her back, making sure none of the men elites or men sub elite got in her way.

So I felt like I was very, like motivated intrinsically just to kind of like-

They were like right in front of us still.

Um, so anyway, race goes off, and I was hoping to find Sam Griffis, Esther Pfeiffer, and Henrik Pfeiffer.

They had a pace group going for 219 low.

Wanted to hop into that, shut the mind off.

Uh, in that moment, around like 4 to 6K, that made the most logical sense.

Like, it was the clearest formed group b- either like behind or in front of me that was like close enough to me.

Um, so I didn't wanna go any slower than that, but I certainly didn't wanna burn any more matches to catch the next group, which was, uh, Esther Pfeiffer's pace group, which I could see up the road 'cause they had a pace car with them, um, with like the timer, 'cause she was going for the German record.

Obviously, it wasn't pacing them.
